Celebrating over eight years of unparalleled hospitality, Hurawalhi Island Resort in the Maldives continues to set global benchmarks for exclusive travel experiences in 2025.
While guests are drawn to the resort’s pristine coral reefs, award-winning wellness center, and postcard-worthy beaches, it’s the innovative dining that truly distinguishes Hurawalhi among elite destinations.
At the heart of its culinary excellence is the acclaimed 5.8 Undersea Restaurant—the world’s largest all-glass underwater dining venue, offering an immersive gastronomic journey surrounded by the vibrant marine life of the Lhaviyani Atoll.
Helmed by Executive Chef Bjoern van den Oever, whose international pedigree brings a refined touch to every plate, 5.8 presents a contemporary tasting menu that changes seasonally, spotlighting the freshest local ingredients with inventive flair. Guests can indulge in a multi-course tasting menu, expertly paired with fine wines curated by the in-house sommelier, all while enveloped in panoramic views of the Indian Ocean’s aquatic wonders.
For those preferring to dine above the waterline, Hurawalhi’s Aquarium and Canneli restaurants continue the resort’s commitment to culinary excellence. Aquarium impresses with its serene ocean vistas and a modern menu focused on sustainable, organic produce, while Canneli is renowned for lavish breakfasts and an array of international buffet selections.
Nestled in the tranquil Lhaviyani Atoll, Hurawalhi Island Resort is conveniently accessible via a 40-minute seaplane transfer from Malé. This adults-only retreat, welcoming guests aged 15 and above, features 90 designer villas—comprising 60 Ocean Villas and 30 Beach Villas—each promising privacy and sophistication.
